Old flames die hard! After meeting on the set of Firstborn in 1984, A-listers Robert Downey Jr. and Sarah Jessica Parker had a high-profile romance until the Sex and the City star split with the Iron Man actor (both 49) over his repeated drug and alcohol abuse. In a new interview on The Howard Stern Show, Downey Jr. opened up about his past love after Stern asked if Parker had broken his heart.

“I’ve never been the kind of person to acknowledge what’s going on with me at the time, and I’d try to make light of it, but sure, when you’re with someone for seven years, 18 to our mid-20s, it’s kind of a big deal,” The Judge star admitted.
